1 Cellular Network Localization: Current Challenges and Future Directions Christos Laoudias Senior Researcher KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence University of Cyprus Funded by: IEEE ICC Workshop on ANLN, May 25, 2017
2 Outline Industry interests Network Operators localization needs Technology landscape Commercial solutions and LBS platforms for Network Operators Technical challenges Using the high volume of data recorded at the network side for localization and tracking Future directions
3 Industry interests Network planning and optimization Location-dependent network analytics & diagnostics Identify traffic hotspots and poor coverage areas Root cause analysis: dropped calls, low KPI/KQI Customer Experience Management (CEM) with location-tagged data Optimal small/macro cell deployment
4 Industry interests Reducing the cost of Drive Tests Traditional network optimization relies on Drive Tests (DT) Professional testers drive along target routes and collect network data Needs vehicles, test instruments, testing skills, analysis tools Initially used on roads accessible by vehicles, now also applied indoors Accounts for ~45% of the network optimization cost Example: Analysis and optimization of LTE network with 3,051 enbs* Drive Tests: 8 tests/cluster/month for 3 months Manpower: 3 person-months Cost: ~EUR9,000 per month How to utilize user network data to reproduce DT scenarios? *Source: ZTE, Virtual DT: An Innovation in Drive Test for Cost-Efficiency, 2016.
5 Technology landscape Key players Source: ABI Research 1 st tier: Traditional network operator location platform vendors 2 nd tier: LBS providers 3 rd tier: Localization technology providers 4 th tier: Network operator data analytics and advertising Recent trend: Platform vendors join forces with data analytics companies TCS Intersec strategic partnership to expand precise LBS solutions (2016)
6 Technology landscape Where we stand in terms of accuracy Company Technology Solution Indoor Accuracy TruePosition Qualcomm Polaris Wireless GloPos InvisiTrack (PoLTE) NextNav U-TDOA Hybrid A-GPS/U-TDOA Hybrid A-GPS/AFLT (Advance Forward Link Trilateration, similar to O-TDOA) RF Pattern Matching*** (signal strengths, signal-to-interference ratios, time delays) Software-only, self-learning probabilistic models based on signals and network parameters, models of cell area and shape LTE Sounding Reference Signals (uplink) Terrestrial Beacon System*** (GPS-like signals transmitted at MHz band) 57.1m* 48.8m 226.8m** 198.4m** 6-13m 1-10m (horizontal) < 3m (vertical) 63m (horizontal)** 1.9m (vertical) * TruePosition indoor test report, TechnoCom, Jun th percentile error in urban area. ** E9-1-1 location accuracy: Indoor location test bed report, CSRIC III WG 3, Mar th percentile error in urban area. *** Provisioned in 3GPP LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP).
7 Technical challenges Arena & game rules Fingerprint database construction Network Measurement Reports (MR) High volume, no location, only cell IDs and signal strengths, # of cell IDs differs in GSM, UMTS, LTE AGPS MRs Moderate volume, location-tagged, introduce network overhead during collection, available in GSM/UMTS (but not LTE) DT MRs Low volume, location-tagged, increase operational cost Over-The-Top (OTT) data Variable volume, produced by LBS web/phone applications, location-tagged, can be associated with user-specific MRs Signal strengths generated by a radio propagation model High volume, require fine-tuning with field measurements Localization Use the Fingerprint database to localize new MRs
8 Technical challenges Indoor/Outdoor identification Why is it important? Fingerprint database: Avoid polluting fingerprints at outdoor locations with signal strengths measured indoors and vice versa Localization: Useful hint for improving accuracy Solutions Naïve approach If the user is served by an indoor cell then he/she is located indoors Not always true under real network conditions *Machine learning approach (Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia) Feature engineering with combination of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) pairs Supervised training of SVM/logistic regression classifier using extensive Drive Tests (outdoor) and Walk Tests (indoor) 95-98% classification accuracy depending on the ratio of WT/DT data Network operators are looking for unsupervised solutions Combine signal strength features with network layout knowledge (indoor/outdoor cells, sectors, antenna heights and tilts) * A. Ray et al., Localization of LTE measurement records with missing information, in INFOCOM, 2016.
9 Technical challenges OTT-MR data association OTT data wave A cellphone running an LBS application generates a MR data stream (at the network) and an OTT data stream (at the LBS server) OTT data contain location from cellphone s location API (GPS, Wi-Fi, etc.) Associated OTT-MR data can be used for: Building the Fingerprint database Reducing costly Drive Tests OTT data acquisition Through business agreements with OTT providers How to do the association? Straightforward if user IMSIs are present in both OTT and MR data *City-scale OTT-MR fingerprint system reports 80m median error (Huawei) OTT providers raise privacy concerns Employ spatiotemporal data processing and trajectory matching techniques if user IMSIs are not present * F. Zhu et al., City-Scale Localization with Telco Big Data, in CIKM, 2016.
10 Technical challenges 1-2cell MR localization Facts * >50% of the observations in Sprint s commercial CDMA2000 network contain only one base station **Alcatel-Lucent/Nokia report that most of the observations in a 4G LTE commercial network contain only signal strength information from the serving cell and (in some cases) from the strongest neighbor cell Triangulation/trilateration cannot be performed Low-dimensional fingerprints degrade accuracy of fingerprinting Solutions *Bayesian inference method using network layout information together with RTT (i.e., distance to base station) and SINR measurements 20% accuracy improvement over standard Cell ID-RTT localization Requires field measurements for parameter tuning: SINR thresholds, interference from non-neighboring base stations, RTT measurement error **Supervised training of Random Forest with labeled DT data to learn the signal strength values at different locations, combined with HMM 20-30m median error Requires extensive DT data for training * H. Zang et al., Bayesian Inference for Localization in Cellular Networks, in INFOCOM, ** A. Ray et al., Localization of LTE measurement records with missing information, in INFOCOM, 2016.
11 Technical challenges 3D location Motivation Indoor network optimization and small cell deployment Indoor E911: 50m horizontal accuracy for 40% 80% of calls within 2 6 years, proposal for a vertical accuracy metric to be approved and comply with within 6 years (FCC, 2015) Current situation A few commercial systems provide height (floor) information Fingerprinting suffers the cost of building/maintaining the 3D database O-TDOA *1m vertical error for 25% of the tests (Ericsson, outdoor-indoor simulation) CID provides high vertical accuracy in dense indoor small cell networks *1m vertical error in 99% of the tests (Ericsson, outdoor-indoor simulation) **1.79m RMS vertical error (JRC/ESA, 2-floor 4 LTE femtocell experimental) Way forward: Complement cellular with Wi-Fi and barometer Wi-Fi can be used for height estimation if no indoor cells are present Barometer is not reliable for absolute height estimation (w/o reference pressure stations), but can detect floor changes and classify vertical activities (taking escalators, stairs or elevators) * H. Ryden et al., Baseline Performance of LTE Positioning in 3GPP 3D MIMO Indoor User Scenarios, in ICL-GNSS, ** J.A. Peral-Rosado et al., Floor Detection with Indoor Vertical Positioning in LTE Femtocell Networks, in GC Workshops, 2015.
12 Future directions Channel state information versus signal strength Knowledge of the channel properties can improve accuracy Exploit multipath components, e.g. for 1-2cell MR localization Access to the measurements is a limitation Should be readily reported by the cellphone similar to signal strength Optimal measurement data fusion *Layered fusion for positioning in radio networks (Ericsson) Radio measurements (TOA, TDOA, RTT, AOA, RSS), algorithms (lateration, triangulation, fingerprinting), statistical processing and temporal filtering Complement cellular with Wi-Fi, BLE, inertial, and barometric sensors Available at the network through LTE Positioning Protocol extensions (LPPe) Data-driven algorithms Positioning: Machine learning together with radio propagation principles LBS platforms: Exploit the volume of MR and OTT data Social-Location-Mobile data analytics for targeted ads (IBM) Radio communication location estimation Exploit low-latency communication for enabling accurate localization Switch among protocols in HetNets, while ensuring accurate location Location-aided communication: beamforming, CSI estimation, etc. * K. Radnostrati et al., New trends in radio network positioning, in FUSION, 2015.
13 Key takeaways Operators are interested in positioning technology mainly for network planning and optimization, CEM, and reducing DTs (Big-) Data will drive the development of positioning algorithms and LBS platforms Sensor data fusion will push the limit of 2D location and enable reliable 3D location Shift from how to compute (accurate) location towards how to use (inaccurate) location for improving radio communication Positioning accuracy will become an important metric for the design of new PHY/MAC, and overall network operation THANK YOU!
